Alex stared down at Achlys with a deep frown. “The poison doesn't seem to be from down there. Could it be that he had been living with the poison all along?” He quickly made a cut on Achlys’ fingers and drew out a little bit of blood. “This is serious, I can only suppress it for a while. It will take a whole lot more to completely get rid of it.”Alex quickly began his treatment, using multiple methods to help him. He first fed him a pill, then an elixir before using acupuncture to expel some of the poison. “I need to find a better solution. The poison already corroded some parts of his body, thereby delaying his cultivation. There should be more room for improvement.”Alex sighed heavily. “Why is it that special children often suffer lots of misfortune? Luz, Aridan, the twins, and even my little boy, Kaiser. And now there's Achlys. Going to the dark hollow strip can't wait anymore. I need to cure Ariella's ice jade physique and also help this thick headed one detoxify the poison
Nether energy as cold as the raw steels of hell seeped out of the door, flowing towards him. The howl of a fiend followed and grey smoke began to twist and swirl around, rushing towards him. He furrowed his brows and quickly summoned his protective artifact. “Awooo! Whooo!” The cold air kept whooshing around in the room, swirling steadily towards the ceiling. When it reached a high crescendo, it dived outside the door, flowing furiously towards Alex. He raised his sword, ready to fight whatever it was that was attacking him within the grey smoke. The silhouette of a bloodied woman in the middle of the hurricane caught his eye, causing the frown on his face to deepen. He immediately summoned various talismans and artifacts and hurled it towards the entity. A high pitched feminine shriek followed the attack, letting him know that he didn't miss the target. “It's truly a ghost, what a powerful one. Her resentment must be very deep. Even after all these years, her soul and will didn'
Alex chuckled as he watched the sassy ghost struggle in futility inside the soul trapping jar. “I warned you, didn't I? Being in my bad books won't do you any good? How's that for a start? Enjoy your captivity.” His mocking words seemed to infuriate the ghost even more, making her intensify her struggles. “Just give up, it's useless. You can't set yourself free from it. I told you to let us discuss in a peaceful manner, in a way that is mutually beneficial, but you chose to overestimate your abilities. Be quiet while I search your memories.” He whispered, watching the ghost panic. “No, you can't do that. Just ask me whatever you want, I will answer honestly. What if you hurt me while trying to search out the memories? It could also backfire, making you get hurt. So,...”Alex smirked at her and squat down. “You don't have to worry about my well being, I'm sure you would be the happiest if I suffer a backlash and die. Besides, it's not as if I can trust anything that comes out of y
“You can scream from now till next year, but I won't buy your act.” The rude ghost shouted back, not caring about his confusion. ‘Does this mean that someone from the Winthrop family is conniving with them? Winthrop and Baltimore, why are these two families problematic? But someone from Winthrop wouldn't have my aura and exact genes? What in hell's name is going on? This isn't right.’He picked up the soul trapping jar where he locked the ghost up and made a quick exit. “You, where are you taking me?”Alex looked at the Jar in his hands and hissed in anger. “You're so noisy. Get lost.” He muttered and sent her into the storage ring where he stores relics and artifacts. He returned to see Achlys already sitting cross legged, trying to regulate his internal energy flow. “Do you know you were poisoned?” Alex asked abruptly, making him open his eyes. “Yes, but unfortunately, I don't know how to cure it. All the methods I have found so far could only suppress it, making me get weaker
Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you strike, fall like a thunderbolt - (the art of war)******Alexander Winthrop hit his hands against the steering wheel, fuming as he drove furiously.The thing he hated the most were idiots that tried to take advantage of others, thinking they were wise.He had registered his pharmaceutical company just last month and his two products had taken the world by storm, raking in a shit load of profits.But before he could enjoy the fruits of his months of painstaking research, the director of the agency for food and drug administration called him in for a chat, claiming that the registration of his company was improperly done, despite the fact that Alex had provided every single document required.He had claimed that he needed to see the formula, insisting that such miraculous drugs that can cure leukemia and skin cancer must definitely have side effects in the future.What nonsense!They were simply shocked by the effectiveness
The police walked up to the couple standing like deers caught in a headlight. The female police officer in the lead was obviously infuriated."Will you identify yourself or should we do it for you? Which one of you drove the red Porsche tonight?" She growled angrily.They had rushed the woman to the hospital, but she was declared dead on arrival.The car drove out of Luz bar known for its debauchery, making them certain that the driver was under the influence of alcohol or other substances.Mia quickly pointed at Alex, while Alex simultaneously sighed and extended his hands to be cuffed.The female police officer slapped him angrily."Why must you kill a pregnant woman? That woman had been childless for years, now that she finally got pregnant, you cut short her husband's joy, you animal!" She roared furiously, letting her emotions get the best of her.Alex shut his eyes and sighed, silently enduring their humiliation as they dragged him into the car.The neighbors had come out from t
Alex was hyperventilating when the police officers led him to the detention room.The inmates had pummeled him badly when he was thrown in, however he was numb to the pain.He couldn't believe that Mia testified against him.She didn't provide a lawyer as she promised, and when the police finally provided an attorney at the last minute, she spoiled everything with her testimony, making him get a fifteen years sentence.He will spend fifteen years in prison!He was about to win the fucking case due to his stellar records and contributions to society, but Mia painted him as a monster, shifting public opinion against him.The whole court had raised an uproar, calling him wolf in sheep's clothing.So when officer Ann had come to bring him out since Mia visited, he had been eager to see her to ask her what went wrong.He stared at the woman sitting with a food flask in the middle of the room, wondering if she was really his angel.Is she still his angel?Or is she simply a demon on a missio
Alex woke up to the sound of vicious growls.He opened his eyes a bit, and almost immediately, his heart jumped out of its cage.He was surrounded by a pride of lions, who were busy sniffing him out.Alex was feeling dizzy from blood loss and pain from the multiple gunshot injuries he sustained.However, the fear of being used as lions' dinner kept him awake, making his mind work quickly as he wondered how the hell he was supposed to defeat three lions in his current condition.He was no Samson, neither was he Hercules.Worse, the bullet penetrated his rib cage, getting stuck in his liver.He noticed a fallen branch beside him and quickly did the math.Alex reached for the stick, simultaneously kicking away two of the lions while landing the stick on the third one.He jumped to his feet, gritting his teeth to endure the pain blinding him, as he tried to fight them off.The lions looked stunned, probably wondering why their supposedly dead dinner came back to life.However, it only last
